2020 Edition features fascinating new revelations, as well as over a dozen rare and new images In the first-ever biography written about her, Wormwood Star traces the extraordinary life of the enigmatic artist Marjorie Cameron, one of the most fascinating figures to emerge from the American Underground art world and film scene.Born in Belle Plaine, Iowa, in 1922, Cameron\'s uniqueness and talent as a natural-born artist was evident to those around her early on in life.

Undaunted, she continued to carve a unique and brilliant path as an artist. A retrospective of Cameron\'s work, entitled The Pearl of Reprisal, was held at LA\'s Barnsdall Art Park in 1989, and after her death, some of her most
